It's now Friday and school just ended. Gabriella has officially met Chad and Taylor and the four are the best of friends along with Kelsi and another smart girl named Martha Cox. Gabriella and the girls are at her locker waiting for the guys. Kelsi is now dating Jason who's the odd ball basketball player. Martha is so far still single, Zeke who's another basketball player is also single, but he likes Sharpay. And of course Taylor is dating Chad. The guys walk up and take their respective girlfriends with them. After they leave, Troy and Gabby are the only ones left. "So, ready to go home?"
"Yeah. But I'm scared about dinner." She said as they walked to the bus.
"It'll be ok. What time is your mom gonna be home?"
"Five to start dinner. She said it'll be about two hours to make. So we're on our own for the next three hours."
"Cool. So I'll go over to my house to change at five then come back at seven along with my parents."
"Sounds like a plan." She replied as they got on the bus.
They got off the bus and Gabriella spotted an odd little bundle on her doorstep. She walked up to it and it moved making a small whimper sound. She uncovers it and gasped. "Troy! Come here!" She yelled as she picked the bundle up.
Troy ran over to her worried. "What? What is it?"
"It's a baby." She looks at its gender. "And it's a girl."
"What?"
"I think she was abandoned."
Troy looks to the door and sees something sticking out. He opens it up and reads it. "No. It's a letter. It says she was in danger. The mother gave her to you to raise so she wouldn't be in danger. The mother's name is or at least was Ashley Creamer."
"I can't raise her! Not by myself!"
Troy hugged her. "Relax, Babe. I'll help. We'll raise her together."
"What? Really?"
"Yes. Come on. Lets take her inside. It's freezing out here."
Gabriella nodded and opened the door. They go in the living room and sit down. "What do we name her?"
"I like Tori."
"I think it's perfect. Middle name, Alexa."
"I love it. Tori Alexa."
"Yeah. Tori Alexa Bolton." She said looking at their new daughter. "What do you think, Sweetheart?"
The baby smiled and cooed. The couple smiled. "I think she likes it." Troy said.
"Did the letter say when she was born?"
He looks at the letter again. "It says 10:30 this morning. No birth certificate or name was given."
"Then call the police. We need to get a birth certificate and adoption papers immediately. Then we need to get formula and diapers. And of course a crib or cradle."
"I think a cradle will be better. And we'll do the Disney Princess theme."
"Sounds perfect. Call the police now."
Troy nodded and called the police. "Hello? 911. You have an emergency?" Came through the phone.
"Uh. Yeah. My name is Troy Bolton and I'm calling for a baby left on the doorstep. I'm at my Girlfriend's house. Gabriella Montez."
"Ok. And address?"
"8801 Glendale Ave."
"Ok. The police are on their way."
"Thank you so much. Bye." He replied and hung up. He turns to Gabriella. "They're on their way."
She nodded.
After the call, the police showed up an hour later. Gabriella and Troy were explaining everything and Tori fell asleep. It's now 5:00 and Sarah walks in. "Troy!? Gabby!? You home!?" She called.
"In the living room, Mama!" Gabriella called back.
Sarah walks in. "What are the police doing here? What's going on?"
"It's... well... it's..." Gabriella stuttered.
Troy came down the stairs with Tori feeding her a bottle the police had brought. "Gabby, Tori wants you to feed her."
"Who's Tori?" Sarah asked.
Troy looked at her. "Oh. Sorry, Sarah. This is Tori. Your new granddaughter."
"My what?" The older woman asked shocked.
"Your new granddaughter, Mama." Gabriella said taking Tori from Troy. "Troy and I adopted her. She was left on our doorstep. There was a note left by the biological mother that she wanted me to raise her. She was in danger and this was her only way out of it."
Sarah looked from her daughter to Tori to Troy and back. "I can see you're happy, Mija. And I'm proud of you. Just remember how much responsibility it will be while you're still in school."
"I know, Mama. With Troy's help, I can do this. I know I can."
"Ok, Mija. I'm gonna start dinner."
"Ok."
By this time, Tori finished her bottle. Gabriella burped her and kissed her forehead. The police had bought everything they needed and put it all up for them. Troy kissed Gabriella quickly. "I'll be back. I'm gonna go home and change quick. Take a shower."
"Ok. Hurry back."
"I will. I love you."
"I love you too."
With that said, he went home.
When Troy got home, his mom Lucille was getting ready the dessert. "You alright, Troy?" She asked.
Troy smiled. "Yeah, Mom. Umm... Gabriella and I have a surprise for you when we get back over there for dinner."
"Oh?"
"Explain later. But for now, I can tell you you have a grandchild."
With that, he went to get ready leaving Lucille confused.
At 7:00, Troy led his parents to Gabriella's. Gabby opened the door holding a crying Tori. "Thank God you're here. Tori wants her daddy. I can't get her to calm down."
Troy took Tori from Gabriella and the infant calmed instantly. Lucille looked from Gabriella to Troy to Tori and knew instantly what he meant. Jack looked at Gabriella and got really angry. "You!"
Troy and Gabriella winced and looked at him. "H...h...hi, Mr. Bolton." Gabriella stuttered.
"Stay away from Troy! Lucille, Troy, we're leaving."
"JACK!" Lucille scolded.
"Dad! Stop it! I LOVE Gabriella. And she loves me. We adopted this little girl today and we're happy. Why can't you see how happy she makes me?" He said and took Tori inside following Gabriella. Lucille shook her head at her husband and walked in.
Sarah saw Lucille and smiled. "Hi. I'm Sarah Montez. Gabriella's mom. You must be Troy's mom."
"Yes. Lucille. Or Lucy for short. You know, Gabriella seems really good for Troy. I've never seen him so happy until he met her."
"It's the same way for Gabby too. She hasn't had a man in her life since her father died when she was three. Troy seems to make her happy and they're really in love with each other."
"Yes. And it seems they've made us grandparents today."
"Yes. That was a shock to me too."
Up in Gabriella's room, Gabby was crying and Tori is asleep while Troy is holding them both trying to comfort Gabriella. "It's ok, Hunny. It's ok. My dad's an idiot and an asshole. You didn't deserve that. But my mom loves you."
"I love your mom, but I can't say the same for your dad. I'm scared of him."
"I know, Baby. Like I said, he's an asshole and an idiot. And I'm sure my mom's furious with him. But you have me to protect you. You'll always have me. I love you. "
"I love you so much, Troy. I don't know what I'd do without you."
"You'll never lose me. I promise."
At that moment, the bedroom door opened and the couple looked over to see Sarah and Lucille. "Come down and eat."
"Is dad calmed down?" Troy asked.
"No. He's been kicked out. I told him if he's not calmed down and starts being nice to Gabriella by the time we get back home, he's sleeping on the couch."
Troy nodded and the two followed the women downstairs to eat.
